This week I did not run with the same luck because I found that at some point there was a short circuit, and I will give more details.
He had said that except for this last time when I found the refrigerator without cooling the engine was kept on, this Embraco engine has on the top a plastic tray that collects water from the thaw, I had noticed that this tray had deformed in its ends, rather as melted; then in this last opportunity I suppose that it happened exactly the same with the difference that the tray had water and this when not being retained falls directly on the place where the relays go, result short circuit, all singed, the cover of the relays, the own ones cables, thank God did not happen to older, but in the short a cable had to stay stuck on some of these pins and ate almost completely, then the thermal relay (a single pin) fails to make contact with the leg as small as it gets. The question specifically is if someone could tell me if this has repair, replacement or definitely the engine can no longer be used.
I appreciate your comments
